In bulk metals, this effect explains field electron emission and is described by the Fowler-Nordheim type
 equations. Erasing a NOR flash cell is dependent on this effect occurring in the floating gate, and this effect
 can be used to achieve negative differential resistance
In bulk metals, this effect explains field electron emission and is described by the Fowler-Nordheim type
 equations. Erasing a NOR flash cell is dependent on this effect occurring in the floating gate, and this effect
 can be used to achieve negative differential resistance in a particular type of diode named for Esaki. This
 phenomenon results in the production of a current in the DC Josephson effect. Alpha decay is governed by
 this process, in which a particle's Schrodinger equation is represented as a decaying exponential function.
 For 10 points, name this phenomenon of quantum mechanics in which a particle can go through a
 classically forbidden region.
